He may have been assigned Moby Dick in high school, but Paul Boudreau first entered the world of Herman Melville's great tale as an adult while vacationing on Nantucket. " I had no idea that, before this amazing read was over," he writes in his introduction, "I would have discovered hundreds of biblical allusions in the text. As a student and teacher of Scripture, I was delighted." Boudreau's delight shines through in his selections from Moby Dick, Typee, Billy Budd, and other works, and in his enlightening selection of passages from The Message.
